[Opinions] Re: Tobin
in reply to a message by hylo
I used to really like all the Tob-names.
Tobiah was my favorite.
I had never thought of Tobin for a boy (I assume you mean it for a boy, since you compared it to Tobias).
Now that I look at BtN, I see it is a masculine name, but I have only ever known one, and she was a girl.
I always thought she had a cool name and never even considered it was a boy's name.
If I think about it, I do like it on girls or boys. It IS less pretentious that Tobias (not that Tobias seems overly pretentious). It is simpler for sure and feels a bit more modern.
Totally usable. Recommendable even.
